Not long ago a buddy of mine had a broken VR and the cost to repair it came close enough to the cost of a new lens that he went ahead and junked the broken lens and bought a new one. The thin copper wire that makes up the VR is one of the weakest spots in a VR lens. Oddly, sometimes these lenses can withstand a heavy drop without a problem and other times a small little bump can destroy the VR. So I would suggest you get an estimate and see whether fixing it or buying a new one makes the most sense. And if you do choose to go with a new VR lens, purchase the extended warranty on it, if it's not too expensive.</p></blockquote><p></p>
